Marcus Brigstocke takes tour to Croydon

One of Britain’s finest comedians and broadcasters, Marcus Brigstocke, will be taking his hotly anticipated new show "The Brig Society" out on tour this autumn.

The award-winning comedian is a firm favourite with comedy fans and his new show promises to be as quick-witted as his much loved catalogue of work. Marcus will be performing "The Brig Society" at the Edinburgh Fringe throughout this month perfecting every joke before taking it on tour.

Perhaps best known for his acerbic wit on BBC Radio 4, both as a panellist on The Now Show and Just A Minute, Brigstocke also makes the odd appearance of television shows such as Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You.

To add to his workload Marcus will also be reprising his role King Arthur for the West End Production of the award winning musical Spamalot.

Marcus’s talent was noted early on in his career in 1996 when he won the BBC New Comedian Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences around the UK and globally at international comedy festivals.

Political scandal, economic incompetence, religious hypocrisy and simple human stupidity; there's not much that escapes his blisteringly funny observations on twenty first century living. This is the Brig Society.

Marcus Brigstocke, Fairfield Halls, Wednesday December 12 at 7.45pm. Tickets are £15 and on sale now. A booking fee of £2.25 per ticket may apply.
